As opposed to the smash hit PS3 that lost Sony billions of dollars? 
The reason this game is on Vita is simple: PS3 software sales have been in decline for a while now. Vita isn't PSP or 3DS, but it is growing in Asia. For projects that only target that market, it makes sense to go exclusive with it. |

Every console puts the manufacturer initially in a big hole for years, but Sony's PS3 division already got to black in 2010.
Plus it's cheaper to develop games for handhelds than home consoles. Most J-game developers aren't big studios that could afford large budgets. |

That Yoshida quote is in reference to Sony's razor strategy where they sell hardware below manufacturing/distribution costs in order to increase the userbase and sell software. That just means that as of 2010, Sony were no longer losing money on each PS3 sold. He doesn't say Sony has recouped their initial R&D investment or losses incurred when they were losing money on each unit sold.
